<h1>Displaying thresholds on a report</h1>
<p>Individual cell data can be automatically formatted differently than 
 the data in the rest of the report. Data that is formatted differently 
 calls attention to itself, and makes that data easier to locate for analysis.</p>
<p>To see a report displaying various types of thresholds, such as symbols, 
 highlighted values, and so on, see the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>Formatting 
 a Report</I></span> chapter in the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>Basic 
 Reporting Guide</I></span>.</p>
<p>Conditional formatting is formatting that is applied to values when 
 certain conditions are met. &nbsp;For example, it is 
 possible to have all profit margins below a certain percentage appear 
 in red, while all other profit margins are displayed in black. The data 
 that meets the condition is considered to be data that has passed the 
 threshold of the condition; once data passes the threshold, the formatting 
 is applied. So thresholds are cells of data that are formatted differently 
 from the rest of the data on a report; the formatting is applied dynamically, 
 whenever the report is re-executed.</p>
<p>Thresholds highlight particular data in a report by displaying special 
 cell formats, symbols, images, or replacement text. </p>
<h2>To display the thresholds on your report</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Run a report.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Tools</B></span> 
 menu, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report Options</B></span>. The 
 Report Options dialog box opens. On the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Grid</B></span><span> 
 tab, select </span>the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show thresholds</B></span> 
 check box. </p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="3" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span> at 
 the bottom of the dialog box. Any thresholds in the report are displayed. 
 </p></li>
